The Scenium display and analysis software has been developed to aid the clinician in the assessment and quantification of pathologies taken from PET and SPECT scans.
The software is deployed via medical imaging workplaces and is organized as a series of workflows which are specific to use with particular drug and disease combinations.
The software aids in the assessment of human brain scans enabling automated analysis through quantification of mean pixel values located within standard regions of interest. It facilitates comparison with existing databases of normal patients and normal parameters derived from these databases, derived from FDG-PET, amyloid-PET, and SPECT studies, calculation of uptake ratios between regions of interest, and subtraction between two functional scans.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
